How to transfer money from Tele2 to a card using an SMS command
Using SMS commands is one of the least labor-intensive ways to transfer funds from a Tele2 account to a credit or debit card. Using this method, you need to send a message to number 159 with the following text: “card #### X”, where:
- card – command to transfer funds to the card;
- #### – card number to which funds will be transferred (all 16 digits must be entered);
- X – transfer amount (must be indicated without kopecks).
After performing these actions, the user will receive a notification about the amount of the commission and the status of the payment.
Sending money via USSD command
To transfer funds from your balance to a plastic card from Sberbank, you need to sequentially type numbers and characters without spaces.
Instructions:
- Press star.
- Then 159.
- Again an asterisk, the number 1 and an asterisk.
- Indicate the card number and asterisk.
- Amount to transfer.
- Press the green call handset.
Example command text: *159*12145320905970003*500#
After entering the required data, the operator will write that the operation has been completed.
Via USSD request
Transferring funds from your phone to a Sberbank card can be done by dialing just one simple command: *159*1*NNNN*X#, where
- NNNN – 16-digit number of your bank card;
- X is the desired transfer amount.
Another option is to dial the command “*135#” on the phone screen and click “Call”. Follow the instructions of the voice assistant, complete a few required steps, and the translation will be carried out.
To transfer funds using the above method, users do not have to search for and install additional applications on their phones or look for a place where they can connect to the Internet. Therefore, this particular method of transferring money from Tele2 is the most practical and accessible.
Transfer via mobile portal
If the previous command didn't work, you can try an alternative method.
Instructions:
- Dial *.
- Write 145 in numbers.
- Press #.
- Click on the call button.
- In the menu that opens, find “transfer to card.”
- Indicate the recipient's plastic number.
- Enter the desired amount.
As a result, you need to confirm the specified data and check the box next to agreement with the terms of payment.
At the telecom operator's office
You can also transfer money from Tele2 to a Maestro card from Sberbank by personally visiting the operator’s office. Many will find this method unacceptable and inconvenient, because users will have to look for the nearest branch of the company and waste time walking to it. However, thanks to this method, you can transfer funds quickly, and most importantly, safely, because the transaction will be carried out by professional employees of the company.
Don’t forget to take your civil passport to the Tele2 office, which will allow you to identify your identity. Tell the operator the card number to which the transfer will be made, as well as the amount of funds to be transferred - the company employee will perform all the necessary actions independently.
The “Mobile transfer” option is intended, first of all, to transfer money from Tele2 from one mobile account to another, but it can also be used as an alternative to the basic transfer from Tele2. To activate this menu and withdraw rubles to the card, you need to do the following operations:
- dial the button combination *145# and press call;
- in the menu that appears, select “cards and cash” (number 2);
- in the new menu, select the “map” item (number 1);
- enter the transfer amount and click “OK”.
Next, an SMS containing a web address will be sent to your phone. After clicking on it, you will need to perform a few more simple manipulations, including entering the card number. This method of withdrawing money from a Tele2 phone to a Sberbank card (or another) has a limit on the size of the transfer - from 1 to 14,200 rubles one time, and no more than 100,000 per day in total.
You can also manage your finances using the Tele2 Payment mobile application by installing it on your smartphone.
How to transfer money from Tele2 to a Sberbank card through the company’s website?
First of all, you need to register on the official website of the cellular operator Tele2: tele2.ru. After registration, go to the main page of the service - select the “Transfers and Payments” tab at the top. Find transfer options - among them you will see a transfer “from phone to card”. After you click on this field, you will be redirected to a special form in which you need to fill out 3 lines:
- sender's phone number;
- recipient's phone number;
- sending amount.
Check out the bank's tariffs and submit the form by clicking the "Pay" button. The total amount to be paid will appear in front of you in the upper right corner of the page. After carefully checking the correctness of the data, click the “Pay” button. Wait for the transaction to complete. Payment may be processed instantly, or may be slightly delayed. In any case, the maximum period within which the funds must be transferred is 5 days.
It will be unprofitable to carry out transactions with a small transfer amount in this way, because the minimum commission amount for a transaction is 40 rubles.

Withdrawal restrictions
Additionally, you can note specific restrictions that prevent the implementation of a money transfer from a mobile account to a bank card.
Today Tele2 allows transfers to Visa, MasterCard and MIR cards, while Maestro cards are supported only if they are of a personal type.
In addition, transfers are only made to cards with a 16-digit identification number (printed on the front of the card).
It remains to add that some methods of transferring money today are already outdated and therefore cannot be used. So, it will not be possible to withdraw rubles from your account and send them to a card through your Tele2 (LK) personal account.
